FAQ
Common Questions
What's the difference between a fountain and an aerator?
Fountains spray water into the air for visual appeal and surface-level oxygenation. Sub-surface aerators push air from the bottom up, providing deeper oxygenation for better overall water quality. Many properties benefit from both.
How much does a fountain system cost?
Systems range from $3,000 for small decorative fountains to $15,000+ for large multi-nozzle displays with LED lighting. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your water body.
Will a fountain help with algae?
Yes. Proper aeration disrupts algae growth by increasing oxygen levels and water circulation. For severe algae issues, we recommend combining surface and sub-surface systems.
Do fountains run year-round?
In Central Texas, most systems run 8–10 months. We winterize systems during freezing periods to protect equipment and resume operation in spring.
